IMEI Getter

Overview

IMEI Getter simplifies the complex task of retrieving unique device identifiers on Android and iOS. It handles the nuances of identifying devices across different OS versions, where permissions and available identifiers (IMEI vs UUID vs AndroidID) change frequently.

The Status Quo

Since Android 10, accessing the actual IMEI is restricted to system apps or device owners. Developers often write spaghetti code: "If Android < 10 get IMEI, else get AndroidID, but if iOS get VendorID...". This fragmentation leads to bugs and rejected app store submissions.

Market Proposition

A "Smart" Identifier Strategy.

  • Auto-Fallback: Tries to get the most persistent ID permitted by the OS.
  • Permission Handling: built-in methods to request READ_PHONE_STATE only when necessary.
  • Cross-Platform: Unified API for Android and iOS.

Usage

import 'package:imei_getter/imei_getter.dart';

// Request permission first
await ImeiGetter.requestPermission();

// Get the best available ID
String id = await ImeiGetter.getImei();
